THE GREAT CENTRAL VERMONT SYSTEM.

'sIf want to make time in going north or south between Montreal on the St. Law. renee River or New London on Long Is- land Sound" says an old commercial tray. eler, T always strike the Central Vermont Railroad. It is the only great north and south Trunk Road in New England. All other roads run east and west.
 "But suppose you want to go to Mon- treal from New York or Boston, which is the sure route ?"
 eff am in New York take the New York, New Haven and Hartford straight to Springfield, and then you strike the Gen. tral Vermont system which shoots you into Montreal without change of cars. If am in Boston I take the great Boston and Lowell to the Central Vermont at White River Junction or the Fitchbnre and Cheshire Roads to the Central of Bellows Falls. The Connecticut River Railroad, running north and south, between Spring. feld and Bellows Falls and White River Junction is a part of the Central Vermont System. It connects it with the New York and New Haven. If want to get to my destination always want to get on trunk line"
 "Why trunk line2" asked.
 Because it always connects with itself. If train is delayed it's branches wait for it. If am going into the White Mountains getinto the Boston aud Lowell. Itsearches out every point m tue White Mountains. So if you start from Montreal for New York, New London or Boston every dIvis- ion of this great system waits for your train. Ton are bound to reach your des- tination without delay"
 The old commercial traveller was right. The Central Vermont like the Boston and r Nz,1. h. T Al Is great trunk road. It is loved by the people who live along it's track. They are proud of it. Its arrangement under Pres. J. Gregory Smith aud General Manager Hobart has been so liberal with the peo- pie that they love the road They will go out of their way to draw freight to it. They always speak of it as tour road"
 One day was riding on the New York Central in Western New York. On the train was a good old farmer from St. AL bans. They seemed to be very lonesome in strange country and on a strange road. By and by as the old man was looking out of the window l saw his eyes light up. Hls face fairly beamed with happiness.
 ''See Mary r he exclaimed as he pointed out of the window there's one of our old Central cars-one of Governor Smiths cars-see it?
 ''Wheres ohn ?" asked the good woman as she hastily put on her glasses.
 "Why ] right out there and Molly, just to think, that it no doubt came right through our dear old Vermont farm-and Jenny and Abe saw it r'
 Just then the train stopped and the old man got out and went lovingly up to the Central Vermont freight train and felt of it with his hand. Yes he patted it like a horse.
 That's the railroad for me Molly" he said as he put on his spectacles and spelled the big letters CENTRAL VERMONT on the side of the car. .t".
 The Central Vermont is growing every year all north and south lines are. It's are very notable. It is as much a part of Rutland or Burlington, Brattle. boro, or St Albans as their city halls. It is the great link which binds New Eng land to Canada.--EIi Perkins iyl Chicago Tribune.

4 TALE OF AN ALMANAC.

Philadelphia correspondence in the New York Herald Anent William Bradford's s almanac story is told regarding one of the works of that kind issued in this city at present (and this town IS still an alma
 nae center):
 In the .smake-up' of the almanac the foreman oncs got the prediction for No vember under the calendar for August. In the paragraph was one phrase that es- capped detection until the entire half-million copies had been sent to the homesteads they were to delight. It was paralyzer for August, for it said '12th, snow and rain" The prophecy (which the print CTS always set to suit theInselves), was 8
 reckless one even for November but the
 printer thought he would change it. Im- agine his horror, then, to find it set down
 to August. Of course the venturesome, not to say, idiotic prediction, was brought
 to the notice of the publishers of the al- manac. The printer was discharged on general principles, and the foreman was gwen notice that unless the prediction
 was verified, he, too, must leave. That did not settle the matter, however. The anxiety that first weighed alone on the foreman's sad heart, gradually imparted' itself to the firm as an avalanche of letters began to pour in from the staunchest of free readers of the almanac. The dread spread to the medicine mixers and then to the girl paper folders and. book-sewers. As July wore away the customers to the office noticed that they experienced pc culiar feeling of anxiety assthey entered.
 By this time a veritable shudder had become part of the firm, attaching itself to the proprletors and all the employees. If accompanied them from desk to desk there were two on chair when each of the proprietors of the almanac and the Shudder sat down to lunchepn or dinner. As August got fairly under way the pro- prietor went 10 bed and fhe foreman took continual doses of bad whisky. The grav- ity of the affair was not exaggerated. If it showed not on the date announced, the matter-of- fact community would repudiate the medicines and even go so far as to re- fuse the almanac as augift. But 1t is an event on record and nowaof almanac his- tory, that heavy hailsteFm occurred on the very date, followed by slight snow of several minutes duration. This made the almanac of that house the most famous, the most accurate of the habitable globe Nobody doubts it's prophecies now. A copy of this almanac is one of the curiosi- ties in the rooms of the Pennsylvania His torical Society. Mr. Stone the secretary, has the certified copy of the almanac. The firm recovered it's prestige at bound, and B good granite structure rose for it's use. The foreman was given handsome re- ward, his salary was doubled, and the un- fortunate printer (beeoming tramping jour-, in the meantime) was sought for years in all the ''rat offices" of the country until found and made happy.

LARlAT BILL.

TThe poet wishes to have it understood that he is after Bret Harte 7ttWe ], stranger, it was somewhere in ,69, was running the Frisco fast express An from Murder Creek to Blasted Pine
 Were nigh onto eighteen mile, guess. The road was down-grade all the way, An we pulled out of Murder 8 little late, SoI opened the throttle wide that day,
 And mile minute were bout our gait. My 6reman's name was Lariat Bill,
 A quiet man with an easy way, Who could rope steer with cowboys skill, Which he'd learned in Texas, I've heard
 him say;
 The coil was strong as tempered steel,
 An it went like bolt from cross-bow
 flung,
 An arter Bill changed from saddle to wheel, Just over his head in the cab it hung. ''WelI as Twas ga in we fairly flew
 As we struck the curve at Buffalo Spring, An gave her full steam an put her through, An the engine rocked like living thing; When all of 8 sudden got scare
 For thar on the track were little child An right in the path of the engine there, She held out ner little hands and smiled! SI jerked the lever and whistled for brakes The wheels threw sparks like shower of 2 sss gold {; ss But Iknew the trouble down-grade makes, An set my teeth an my flesh grew cold ]; Then 'Lafiati Bill yanked his long lasso, &Ef An, out in front of the engine crept- He balanced moment before he threw, Then out in the air his lariat swept l'' He paused. There were tears in his Lonest
 eyes.
 The stranger listened with bated breath Fl know'the rest of the tale, :" he cries:
 He snatched the child from the jaws of
 death!

(For The Press.) Three Faces.

The eldest, noble, full of warmth of soul, Looking far to the future, its secrets to unfold. Face full of thought to conquer what might
 come
 And yield harvest, to Gods will be done. The next, jo, ous face, devoid of care, Perfec in features, fossy, light-brown hair Ev,s that smile would melt into tear,- Tho all perfect whole; would she were here The last, ohl large, sweet, bright-blue eyes, Dreaming of naught but this worlds paradise i, Hair light as amber, baby ike her face, Innocence her portion, innocen' @ her grace. The three, these three, are blended into one To me, who loves them, claims them as my
 own.
 These three in one are to me by Gods light The what will bring me by them to his sight.
